Award-winning Nimród Antal (Predators, Vacancy) will direct Metallica’s forthcoming 3D film and Charlotte Huggins (Journey To The Center Of The Earth, Journey 2: The Mysterious Island) will produce. The film due next summer will feature narrative and concert starring the “five” members of Metallica: James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett, Robert Trujillo, and the fans.

As the band previously explained, this will not just be a straight ahead concert film, but more like Led Zeppelin’s The Song Remains the Same, where the live footage is intercut with dramatic pieces, or as Lars Ulrich told Rolling Stone, “75 percent concert, 25 percent other stuff.”

YVRShoots has posted a number of photos of a riot scene that was filmed recently in Vancouver, BC for the film.

According to the site, “The heavy metal band already performed the concert part in Rogers Arena for three nights in a row. Now they’re doing the movie part all over downtown in overnight shoots in Arch Alley near Victory Square, a couple of Burrard intersections and now on Dunsmuir near the Burrard station. Last night’s riot had 400 extras as rioters and riot police, things on fire and riders on horses.”
